Gu Xi thought that he would pick up Yu Tang in a few days, so he went to the tailor's shop he frequented and prepared to make a few new clothes.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was time to put on her sleeves, so she picked and picked a piece of honey-colored material for weaving gold folded branches.

The proprietress of the tailor's shop was in her thirties, chubby, shrewd and capable, and a man with something in his eyes.

She praised Gu Xi's good eyesight, took the material and draped it on Gu Xi's body, and said: "This honey is a good color, ordinary people can't wear it well, but you see, how white your skin is lined with this material!" ”

That's true.

Gu Xi was very satisfied, and thought that Yu Tang would definitely hold a family banquet when she came to Pei's Mansion, maybe Mrs. Yin and they would all have a treat, she followed Mrs. Pei, maybe she would have the opportunity to show her face, and she didn't come to take care of the business of this tailor shop for some days, after a long time, why did others still hold her?

She simply asked the proprietress of the tailor shop to help her recommend a few more materials: "I want to make a few more clothes that suit my heart, I'm afraid there will be entertainment in winter." ”

When the proprietress of the tailor shop heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and hurriedly told the little apprentice to bring over one of the materials that she had specially brought from Jiangnan a few days ago, and whispered to Gu Xi with a smile: "It's a tribute from Jiangnan Weaving, I'm afraid that it will collide with the royal family, and only a few colors and patterns have changed, but the materials and weavers are exactly the same." ”

Royal things have their own rules, and if you want to do what others love, you can't copy them all.

Gu Xi was born in Jiangnan, and the Gu family also has a silk shop, and the roadway here is also clear.

"Then take it and have a look." She said casually, supported by the proprietress and sat down in the private room next to her, took the tea served by the proprietress herself, and took a sip.

The proprietress knew that Gu Xi was from an extraordinary background, and she had always wanted Gu Xi to help introduce a few guests, but before the material was brought over, she leaned over and said with a smile: "When will your sister-in-law come back?" When the time comes, I will also go to congratulate my uncle's wife. ”

People like the Xu family, the Li family, and the Zhang family have their own embroidery girls, unless they are tired of the clothes at home, they rarely come out to order clothes, she just wants to pick up a leak.

If it really happens, even if you go to their house and make a handkerchief, it will be enough for their family to brag.

Gu Xi also knew her mood, thinking that in the past few years of dealing with her, this proprietress could be regarded as honest, so she smiled and said: "I should come back a year ago, and I will tell you when the time comes." ”

Gu Chang has been following Fei Qianwen's path for the past two years, after the beginning of the year, the officials will check the officials, there will be a transfer, Fei Qianwen is already helping Gu Chang plan, Yin thinks that the New Year is coming, although there is only one thing in the matter, but there should be a point, should be moved, or take advantage of the New Year to visit, wrote a letter to her, let her personally urge the servants who stayed in the capital to clean up the house, she rushed back to Beijing before mid-November, and first went to Xu and Li's houses to take a walk.

The proprietress of the tailor shop listened to the natural gratitude, and thought that giving Gu Xi a discount would break the rules in the shop, and if Gu Xi came again in the future, would it be better to discount or not? She thought about it, and while Gu Xi was talking to the tailor about the style, she turned around and went to the warehouse to get a two-foot piece of scrap cloth and gave it to Gu Xi: "It's Shu embroidery over there, and you only got this piece of material, you must think it's ordinary, but I'm like this, but it's very rare." If you take it back and make a hat for the little master, or make a hem or something yourself, it will definitely be brilliant. ”

Gu Xi saw that it was an orange thread silk, embroidered with a pattern of magpies and plums, so it could be trimmed, and it could also be trimmed when cut. No wonder the proprietress let her use it on her skirt or hat.

Although such a material is common, but the embroidery of this material is very good, whether it is a magpie or a plum blossom, it is all lifelike, the demeanor is different, vibrant, with a lively atmosphere.

It can be seen that it is not the craft of ordinary people.

Since you are sending something, of course you have to send it clearly.

The proprietress of the tailor shop did not hide it from Gu Xi, and said with a smile: "It was embroidered by the eyebrow lady who embroidered the "Thousand Cranes" for the emperor on the Wanshou Festival that year. You also know that since her embroidery was in the limelight on Hallomy, there has been an endless stream of people looking for her, and she has stopped taking ordinary things, which she embroidered before she was famous. I got it unintentionally, and I have been reluctant to move, otherwise, with a person like me, how can I have a chance to get the embroidery of the Mei Niangzi. ”

Gu Xi had heard of this.

That year, the emperor had a birthday, and the governor of Sichuan gave the emperor a "Thousand Cranes" as a birthday gift. On a small screen, embroidered with a thousand white cranes in different postures, embroidered this picture of the eyebrow lady became famous in one fell swoop, overshadowing many embroidery girls in the south of the Yangtze River, and became the hottest embroiderer today. It is said that the price of embroidery is higher than that of gold, and the money is charged according to the size, and the queue cannot be queued.

Gu Xi had never seen the embroidery of the eyebrow lady, and he didn't know whether the fabric in his hand was real or fake, but both the color and the embroidery were very exquisite, rare, and belonged to the boutique. She loved it. There's nothing wrong with taking it.

She thanked her generously, ordered a squirrel skin cloak, warmed her hands, and made an appointment to pick up her clothes, and then returned home with lotus incense.

He Xiang knew Gu Xi's thoughts, and couldn't help but say when she was serving her to change clothes: "There are still a few fox skins in the warehouse, which can be used to make a cloak." Why don't I make you another cloak? ”

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "Those few pieces of skin are still left by my mother, all of them are dark fur. Nowadays, such a leather is rare, let alone a cloak? Keep it for Brother Yuan to use when he grows up! I've got a squirrel's skin. ”

But when Yu Tang spent the winter in the capital, she was pregnant with a child, and the third master and the old lady were afraid that she would freeze, so they made five or six pieces of gray squirrel skin, mink skin, and fox skin.

The lotus fragrance wanted to speak and stopped.

Gu Xi didn't pay attention, her mind had already shifted to jewelry.

She knows a lot of Yu Tang's jewelry, she has a mother-in-law on the top of her head in recent years, she is not too dressed, and she has not added jewelry for several years. The main thing is that those gems are of good color, and even if she buys them, she may not be able to buy such good gems for a while.

Gu Xi was busy for a few days, and on the day she went to greet Yu Tang, she deliberately wore the honey-colored woven gold sleeve jacket and a flower crown inlaid with rubies, and together with Pei Tong, she took Brother Yuan to Pei's mansion.

Pei Tong went to see Pei Xuan.

The second wife was waiting for her in the inner courtyard.

Seeing her arrive, he hugged Brother Yuan'er, and said to her with a smile: "Let's go - Adan and Mrs. Xu walked together, and Ah Hong followed Ah Chan and them." said that they were with me, and they all ran away without a trace. After speaking, he also kissed Brother Yuan'er's pink little face, and said, "It's still our Brother Yuan'er who is obedient, and he said that if he came to see his uncle's grandmother, he would come to see his uncle's grandmother." Wait for your uncle and grandmother to buy you delicious food, not for your aunt and uncle. ”

Where can Brother Yuan understand, he only knows that he grinned, his mouth was full of saliva, and if the second wife laughed straight, he urged Gu Xi: "Let's get into the carriage quickly, it's too cold, don't freeze our Brother Yuan." ”

Gu Xi helped the second wife into the carriage and said, "What about Brother Sen?" Did you go to Tongzhou with Adam? ”

The second wife sighed softly and said, "His grandmother said that the weather was too cold, and she was afraid that he would suffer from the wind and cold, so she didn't let him come out." Adan and his aunt went out together. ”

Gu Xi served the second wife to sit down and smiled: "The weather is indeed too cold, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to take Brother Yuan out." However, isn't Mrs. Yin's child just a full moon? Why did she go out too? Did Lord Yin let her out? ”

"Definitely not allowed." The second wife didn't think about it, "But with her temperament, if she really wants to do something, who can stop her." No, Lord Yin also followed. Aunt Qin just heard that Lord Yin was with Mrs. Yin, so she followed Adan over. Otherwise, he is ready to join Ah Chan and Ah Po. ”

As he spoke, the carriage galloped out of the gate of Pei's mansion.

The second wife asked about Pei Tong's homework.

Everyone has great expectations for Pei Tong's fate this time.

Gu Chang was not in the capital, and Gu Xi couldn't figure out the details of Pei Tong, so he could only tell his usual situation to the second wife. The parents of the two were short, and they talked all the way to Tongzhou.

They rested in the house that Yu Tang had bought.

The women are in the inner courtyard and the men are in the outer courtyard.

Gu Xi met Xu Xuan, Miss Zhang and others.

All know.

But Miss Zhang also came to pick up Yu Tang, which still surprised Gu Xi.

Miss Zhang smiled and pointed at Xu Xuan: "It's all her." I said I wouldn't come, she insisted on me coming, and said that your third uncle and aunt had a good impression of me, and I was afraid that your third uncle and aunt would not remember me at all. When I met your third aunt, I had to ask if she said this. ”

Xu Xuan gave birth to a child in a row, I don't know if she was in a happy mood or well maintained, she was not haggard at all, but she was in better spirits than before.

She smiled and let Miss Zhang accuse, and held Pei Dan: "Go!" It's rare that the children are not around, we can do whatever we want, and drink two cups today. ”

Pei Dan yelled: "Don't look for me. My brother-in-law said that I won't let you drink. The child has not yet been 100 days. I don't want my brother-in-law to hate me. ”

Xu Xuan threatened Pei Dan: "You're not afraid that I hate you." ”

Pei Dan looked in a dilemma.

Miss Zhang dragged her to the inner room: "What are you fighting with her?" It's definitely not going to win. Let's hurry up and freshen up, rest early, and play horse hangs together in the evening! ”

Pei Dan followed.

"You didn't wait for me!" Xu Xuan crossed her waist when she saw it, "I said why Adan is not listening to me more and more, it turns out that you instigated it, see how I will clean you up." ”

"Dominatrix!" Miss Zhang scolded back with a smile, "You have the ability to shout like this in front of your brother-in-law, I will obey you." ”

Pei Chan's daughter-in-law pursed her lips and smiled.

Several people frolicked and went to the inner room.

The second wife laughed and teased Brother Yuan: "It's still our Brother Yuan to be obedient, let's go, let's go drink bird's nest soup, ignore them and go crazy." With that, he hugged Brother Yuan and left.

Gu Xi looked at the servants who were busy packing their luggage in the room, and suddenly felt a little cold.
